Get the driver’s name, address, driver’s license, car license, and insurance information. Take photos of both cars and the passengers. Watch how the people from the other car behave. If they seem OK until police come, then complain about pain, something isn’t right.

Get passenger names, and identification numbers. In a scam, others may say they were in his car and were injured.

Call the police even if the damage is minor. Get a police report that describes damage and gives the police officer’s name.

Only use medical, car repair, and legal professionals you trust.
